OK, the chords for the verse are: [Dm] -> [Bb] -> [F] -> [C/F]
and for the chorus: [Bb] -> [F] -> [C/F] -> (repeat) -> C
and the bit after the chorus: [F] -> [Bb] -> [F(twice)] -> [Dm] -> [Bb] -> [F] -> [C/F]
so, :
VERSE
-----
Come up to meet you, tell you im sorry, you dont know how lovely you are
[Dm] [Bb] [F] [C/F]
I have to find you, tell you i need you, tell you i set you apart
[Dm] [Bb] [F] [C/F]
tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions, oh lets go back to the start
[Dm] [Bb] [F] [C/F]
running in circles, coming in tails, ?heads on a science apart?
[Dm] [Bb] [F] [C/F]
CHORUS
------
nobody said it was easy
[Bb] [F]
its such a shame for us to part
[C/F]
nobody said it was easy
[Bb] [F]
noone ever said it would be this hard
[C/F] [C]
oh take me back to the start
then (guitar begins): [F] -> [Bb] -> [F(twice)] -> [Dm] -> [Bb] -> [F] -> [C/F]
VERSE 2
i was just guessing, numbers and figures, put in a puzzles apart
questions of science, science and progress, it must speak as loud as my heart
tell me you love me, come back and haunt me, oh when i rush to your star
running in circles, chasing tails, coming back as we are
CHORUS
nobody said it was easy
its such a shame for us to part
nobody said it was easy
noone ever said it would be so hard
im going back to the start
THE CHORDS
----------
You can play the chords above as you would find them in a chord dictionary (at the top of the
neck), but I think when the guitar comes in they are played like this, judging from the sliding
noises you can hear between the chords in the song:
Dm: [ 5 5 7 7 6 5 ]
Bb: [ 6 8 8 7 6 6 ]
F: [ 1 3 3 2 1 x ] }
} (use your thumb on the low E string for these two,
C/F: [ 1 3 3 0 1 x ] } instead of the normal barre chord shape)
C: [ 3 3 5 5 5 3 ]
hope that helps.
oh, and sorry about the words; i wrote them out very quickly and they're probably mostly wrong or miss-typed.
